The good news is that the US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts 24% growth in software developer<\/span> jobs through 2026. That\u2019s well above average. The outlook for Database administrators certainly isn\u2019t bleak, but with projected job growth of 11% to 2026, that\u2019s less than half the growth projected for developers. Job growth for System administrators<\/span>, at 6% through 2016, is considered average by the BLS. So while the news is positive all around, developers certainly have an advantage. Each of these roles certainly has separate and distinct responsibilities. But why is the outlook so much better for developers, and what does this say about what\u2019s happening in the IT ecosystem?<\/p>\n

“More than ever,” says Oracle Developer Champion Rolando Carrasco<\/a>, “institutions, organizations<\/span>, and governments are keen to generate a new crop of developers that can help them to to create something new.” In today’s business climate competition is tough, and high premium is placed on innovation. “But developers have a lot of tools, a lot of abilities within reach, and the opportunity to make something that can make a competitive difference.”<\/p>\n
